In recent years, Democrats have doggedly tried to take down Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices. Some have thrown accusations against Justices Thomas, Alito, and Coney Barret.
And their shameful actions to block Brett Kavanaugh left a black stain on the entire process.
But it appears there are more concerns over the actions of Democrat-appointed justices. Recently, some have questioned the income and expenses of one justice celebrated by the left. Now, a new report has uncovered details that will have Democrats very worried.
From MSN:
Supreme Court justices have made hundreds of trips and public appearances in recent years. But only one sitting justice appears to have taken the unusual step of traveling with a medic: 69-year-old Justice Sonia Sotomayor…In February 2018, a medic from Grand Junction, Colorado, accompanied Sotomayor on a trip she made to southern Florida, according to the records.
On a three-day book tour with stops in Illinois and Tennessee in October of that year, the Marshals Service incurred costs for “baggage (medic),” which could refer to medical personnel or be a more benign reference to medical equipment in the justice’s luggage.
New documents have been released that reveal Justice Sotomayor has traveled with a medic on more than one occasion. Sotomayor is an Obama-appointed justice and a member of the liberal wing of the court.
She is the oldest liberal member of the court. Sotomayor self-administers insulin shots, after being diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 7. In January 2018, paramedics treated her at home for low blood sugar.
But for a medic to travel with the justice, instead of simply bringing along medicine, will alarm many Democrats. It suggests she needs more intense medical care than a simple shot.
Democrats panicked over the health of the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died while Trump was in office. That gave Trump the chance to appoint another conservative justice, securing the court’s current conservative majority.
If Sotomayor is suffering from a more serious illness, it could make Democrats antsy. If she stays on until after the 2024 Election, she might end up leaving under a new Republican president.
Would Democrats push to get Sotomayor to resign in the next few months? They did that to Justice Breyer.
Key Takeaways:
- New reports show Justice Sotomayor traveled with a medic on trips.
- Sotomayor is 69 and suffers from life-long diabetes.
- Democrats might fear Sotomayor will resign after the upcoming election.
